How the Illinois Veto Session Fueled Higher Taxes and Bureaucratic Power

Democrats’ Toxic Solution To Everything- MORE TAXES

They slip and slide around the truth attempting to justify each and every con job, heist and scheme they pull off. But apparently they are not smart people, because raising taxes is the only lazy, unoriginal plan they can come up with to fix all the problems that they themselves create. And WE are paying for it.

Constitutional law expert and attorney, Jonathan Turley, explains how Illinois’ ‘economically moronic’ measures will continue to push residents out of the state:

J.B. Pritzker’s Democrat Supermajority just passed more of said ‘moronic measures’ during the Fall veto session, adding to Illinois growing disaster pile. The Illinois General Assembly:

Raised taxes and/or electric rates by $8 billion (in spite of the state’s electric bills jumping 15% in 2025) which will give an unelected board all the power over energy decisions in Illinois

Raised taxes that will raid the road fund by an estimated $2 billion to bailout Chicago and suburban transit system, forcing all downstate residents to pay for their operations.

How the Illinois Veto Session Fueled Higher Taxes and Bureaucratic Power

State Rep Brad Halbrook and I joined former State Rep Jeanne Ives on her radio program to discuss how Democrats pushed through billions in new taxes, unchecked bureaucratic power, and radical policies.

It is a two-part discussion, broken out below in two links.

Lawlessness Is A Choice

Why do Democrats and their followers CHOOSE chaos? Because it distracts and confuses people while these ne’er-do-wells execute their agenda in darkness and deception.

This article is adapted from a speech delivered by Miranda Devine on September 30, 2025. In it, she digs deep into why Democrats and Progressives deliberately work toward preserving lawlessness:

Unfortunately, there are real life-and-death consequences that result from these politically motivated derelicts playing fast and loose with the truth while betraying the responsibilities they swore to uphold:

Law enforcement is seeing a significant increase in death threats

Pritzker Suddenly Seems Interested

In spite of recently claiming that President Trump is ‘trying to cheat’ by encouraging Texas to remap their districts, Governor Pritzker seems to be changing his tune in the wake of Tuesday’s election.

As he celebrates Democrats’ wins across the country, the Illinois governor is now focusing in on the GOP debate over the filibuster and whether or not Indiana will take action to redraw its district map.

Governor Potty Mouth

Consistent use of foul language is usually a sign of low intelligence, and J.B. Pritzker consistently delivers.

IN FRONT OF A GROUP OF TEACHERS, the governor recently told President Trump to ‘F*** all the way off’.

OUTRAGE.

Citizens and lawmakers alike are disgusted and fuming after two Illinoisans were killed in a car crash caused by an illegal immigrant. Edwin Pacheco-Meza is accused of driving under the influence, turning his car into a deadly missile that took the lives of Coles County Board member Michael Clayton and his wife, Gail.

People are demanding to know when Democrats are finally going to put law abiding citizens ahead of dangerous illegals who don’t seem to be facing any consequences for their actions under Leftist, politically-motivated ‘leadership’.

‘Thanksgiving’ Year-Round!

The month of November has most people focusing on gratitude even more than usual. But if we make space to slow down and do this more regularly throughout the year, it can change our perspective, shape us and strengthen us in ways we may not yet see.

Gratitude is not just a ‘feel-good’ practice, it is a powerful tool that can:

  • Reduce stress and promote relaxation
  • Lower blood pressure and support heart health
  • Boost your immune system
  • Improve sleep quality
  • Shift your mindset from what is lacking to what is abundant
  • Increase joy and contentment, creating a more positive outlook

This article can help you get there!
